Meredith Bragg - Seventeen lyrics

rate me

If I were a million miles in the air, <br />

Would you try and reach me.<br />

Would you even care.<br />

What if I were right behind, <br />

Would you turn to see, <br />

You would come to realize, <br />

I'm only 17.<br />

Back when I would shut my eyes, <br />

Just to hear you breathe.<br />

I was only half alive, <br />

And you were in between.<br />

<br />

Did you see the skyline, <br />

Monuments and all.<br />

They could not compare to<br />

What you were before<br />

Back when I would bide my time, <br />

Close but indiscreet, <br />

I would rather be resigned, <br />

Than speak and risk defeat.<br />

<br />

Now that I adjust my eyes, <br />

As you turn to leave, <br />

I have come to realize, <br />

That I was only 17.<br />

Only 17.
